Lyrics
One small question, one open
door
A world of wonder waiting on the floor
She found a circuit under glass
A little heartbeat made to last
Numbers turn to something clear
A hidden language drawing near
She stayed when lecture halls went still chased every white
learned the skill with borrowed books and coffee rings she
saw how careful hands could change things then an old hand said
come take a look there's more inside than any book when
something breaks don't Turn away, the patient needs what you can
make
Learn it, live it, pass it on
The future starts before the dawn
Build it, mend it, carry through.
What you discover can make someone new.
Learn it, live it, pass it on.
Raise the light and keep it strong.
Step by step, we all belong.
The future starts before the dawn.
He showed her tools with patient pride
How wires breathe when tested right
A careful soldier's steady eyes
A thousand tiny ways to try
Then came the night
The monitor failed The room went quiet, courage paled
Her first real test, her hand shook hard
But she remembered every part
The mentor said, you know the way
Trust what you learned and start today
A steady heart,
a curious mind Can bring a second chance in time
Learn it, live it, pass it on
The future starts before the dawn
Build it, mend it, carry through
What you discover can make someone new.
Learn it, live it, pass it on.
Raise a light and keep it strong.
Step by step, we all belong.
The future starts before the dawn.
The screen came back, a quiet line
Then every breath fell back in time
She looked at him, he shook his head
You did the work, was all he said
Years move on, the room is hers
New bright faces, new frontiers
She places tools in eager hands
And tells them You can help this day
Learn it, live it, pass it on
The future starts before the dawn
Build it, mend it, carry through
What you discover can make someone new
Learn it, live it, pass it on
Raise a light and keep it strong
From one brave question we belong
The future starts before the dawn
One small question, one open door
Now a hundred curious minds ask for more
Learn it, live it, pass it on
The future starts before the dawn
